IMPACT.
It’s more than just a corporate buzzword. Sustainability is an essential way of life that requires action – every day.
Impact Summit is a day of celebration of inspiring stories, networking and call to action to be part of the change. It’s about strengthening the ecosystem for startups and scale-ups in the Stavanger region, by showing off what’s happening in the region, using the best people on stage rather than the big names.
Impact Awards is arranged to lift up and promote organisations and individuals who contribute to making a difference, and the show concludes the Impact Summit.
Through this annual conference and award ceremony we aim to create a new arena for better sustainable environment for growth for startups, investors, corporates and policymakers.
ENTREPRENEURS
who are building startups that have a social or environmental mission at their core are likely to attend such events to connect with like-minded individuals and to learn more about how to grow their businesses while also making a positive impact.
TARGET ATTENDEES
INVESTORS
who are interested in impact investing, which is the practice of investing in companies, organizations, and funds that are working to create measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return, will attend those events to discover new investment opportunities and to network with other impact investors.
CORPORATE
sustainability and social impact professionals, who work for large companies, often attend these events to learn about new trends and innovations in the field, and to explore potential partnerships or collaborations with impact-focused startups.
POLICY MAKERS
and members of the non-profit and academic communities may also attend the events to learn about new technologies and business models that have the potential to drive positive change in areas such as health, education, and the environment.
HOSTED BY
INNOVATION DOCK
We want to build a bridge between established businesses in the region and the startup environment, and create opportunities related to the green transition. From April 2023, Impact Awards, now Impact Summit & Awards, has become an annual meeting ground with a program that will create opportunities and new links for all participants. Through this conference and award ceremony, we aim to create a new arena for a sustainable growth environment for the region.
